Students Feel Called to Serve Online

BYU student Jacob Burdis created an app that has seen more than 20,000 downloads, received a 4.5 star rating and is the sixth search result for “Book of Mormon.”

Burdis thought of the idea for his LDS Book of Mormon Promises app while serving his mission.

“I was studying ‘hope’ in Preach My Gospel, and there is a quote that says, ‘Hope is an abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill his promises that he has made to you,’” Burdis said. “One day I thought, if I want to have more hope, I need to better know what those promises are.”
